On top of #825 - only the last two commits are new.
Print the source location of the function in the user error message when the
[@assert noalloc]annotation on the function fails with -alloc-check flag.The message is still not great: the debug info points to the function (not the annotation) because that's what we have in the backend. Perhaps we can carry around the location (or Debuginfo.t) along with the attribute, as part of Lambda.check_attribute, but it's not done for anything else of this sort, and seems not worth it (code complexity and memory footprint).
As it is, the check will already hold on to all the
fun_dbgof the entire compilation unit until the end. If this becomes a problem, we can try checking annotations earlier, instead of waiting until the end of the compilation unit, but somethings cannot be resolved until the end.
